Skyline Pigeon

	  		                

                   D                        A/C# 
Turn me loose from your hands 
             G            A      D          
Let me fly to distant lands 
             E                                          G 
Over green fields, trees and mountains 
D           A                   D 
Flowers and forest fountains 
G                          A                    D 
Home along the lanes of the skyway 
               D                        A/C# 
For this dark and lonely room 
               G        A                  D 
Projects a shadow cast in gloom 
                 E        
And my eyes are mirrors 
              G 
Of the world outside 
                D 
Thinking of the way 
          A                                 D 
That the wind can turn the tide 
                    G 
And these shadows turn 
           A                   D 
From purple into grey 
                     G  
For just a Skyline Pigeon 
A  
Dreaming of the open 
D 
Waiting for the day 
                G 
He can spread his wings 
         A              D 
And fly away again 

F#      Bm    C#                 F#m 
Fly away skyline pigeon fly 
                        G 
Towards the dreams 
              A                         D 
You've left so very far behind 
          D 
Just let me wake up in the morning 
             A/C# 
To the smell of new mown hay 
                         G                        A 
To laugh and cry, to live and die 
                     D  
In the brightness of my day 
                 E 
I want to hear the pealing bells 
            G 
Of distant churches sing 
                     D 
But most of all please free me 
         A                   D 
From this aching metal ring 
         G                     A 
And open out this cage  
                       D 
towards the sun
